Note: The coach controls the distance and the area according to the experience and technical level of the players.

Building the attack from behind *Dr. Mouwafak Majeed Mola Iraqi professional soccer coach The player(s) who comes from behind to attack the opponent goal is more dangerous comparing with the player(s) who is already position forwards and one of my favorite training is a weekly session that gives more than options to those players who penetrate from our field towards opponent’s field which I call them (surprise players)whom appear in surprise moment in opponent penalty area.

Option1: 1. Player 2 passes to player 7 2. Player7 passes to central striker9 3. Player 9 lay out the ball in front of central Medfield 8 4. At this moment player 2 sprint all the way to shoot the ball which played by the midfield 8 5. The central striker 9 turns and attack the goal to deal with rebound ball 6. Execute the exercise from both sides
